BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
AND THE RECEIVED TEXT

RT - Received Text
(Passed down thru the Believers)
CT - Critical Text
(Corrupted by so-called Scholars)
|
Back in Eden - the Serpent's first quesion to Eve was, "Yea, hath God said...." He questioned God's Word. His second statement was to deny God's Word, "Ye shall not surely die." (Genesis 3)
Today - there is a battle for the Bible itself! Liberal (so-called) scholars, just like the Serpent, are first questioning, and then denying and altering the Bible. They are a brood of vipers.
There are two main versions of the New Testament Greek. The (RT) Received Text (Textus Receptus) - as passed down through believers over the centuries. The KJV (King James Bible; AKJV; UKJV) is based on the RT.
The opponent is the badly corrupted (CT) Critical Text derived from non-Christian "scholars" along with deceived (well meaning) Christians who are editing what God originally revealed to man. Westcott & Hort, in the late 19th Century codified the damage. The Alexandrian texts and Nestle-Aland versions continue to damage modern Scriptures.
RT - the Received Text
(Textus Receptus; the Traditional Text) - used for the
King James Bible, over 5,000 Scripture portions, all consistent.
CT - the Critical Text
(corrupted) - contrived by modern liberal scholars, mainly
from four ancient manuscripts that had been set aside due to their doctrinal omissions and errors.
They were left unused, so they lasted longer. They're not better; they were corruptions from the start. Eberhard Nestle produced the first edition of the (CT) Novum Testamentum Graece back in 1898.
Westcott & Hort were two non-Christian Greek experts that subtly (like the Serpent) crafted (aided by commentaries from Lowth, Horsley, Middleton, Blaney, Bengel, and Griesbach) the
Alexandrian Texts (the combined "Critical Text") into a competitor to what the believers (the RT) had always copied and used among themselves down through the centuries, passed down from the original Hebrew and Greek.
Akin to the Pharisees of long ago - the liberal theologians are religious leaders -
with their "Critical Text" - who criticize and stand against God's Word.
